The Canes aren’t quite in panic mode yet; forcing overtime against a very competitive Columbus squad two games in a row and walking away with a single point each time instead of both points is definitely frustrating, but the Canes can afford to leave a few on the table so long as this doesn’t become a trend.
Going forward, the Carolina Hurricanes have an opportunity to right the ship before it gets too far off course and point themselves back in the direction of securing the top spot in the Discover Central Division once more.
Columbus has proven that they’re more than able to compete with the top teams in the Central Division at this point; the sooner the Canes can get a handle on beating them consistently, the better. Tonight, the Canes will need to accomplish several things to get that done.
